• Hmmmmm…I was on the front page of the LA Times when I was a year old advertising the state fair.
• I performed on the 50 yard line at the Cotton Bowl.
• I always thought I was going to be a professional dancer and attended college as a dance major until I went to a real estate event to earn “extra money” and said to myself “What do they do? “I want to do what they do”!!! And that was it and the next semester in college I took real estate classes now over 30 years ago! Gosh I hate saying that over “30 year comment”

Q2. Amongst all of the experiences you’ve had since starting at Champions, which is your favorite story you can share with us?

“Five-six years ago I assisted a student named Carla Upchurch in getting her license. Carla had several obstacles to overcome; Carla struggle with her classes and failed several exams due to English being her second language. My recommended for Carla was to purchase an ”English/Spanish” Real Estate License Dictionary. Once Carla started using the dictionary she lit up, her confidence level was roaring. Carla could see  the doors of opportunities opened for her. Her Motto was…… “All things are possible with some perseverance… if you don’t succeed the first time, do it again and again until you do”. Carla would mention this to me in Spanish ”continuously”. I am happy to announce Carla Upchurch is now serving lunches to our student at the Galleria Campus.
